I appreciate The Lutheran Witness publishing a letter to the editor I sent in recently. It was in response to a very fine article about Christmas wars in the magazine’s December, 2008 edition. You can read the article here and the letter here. You can also order my book, What Happened to Merry Christmas?here.

The villiage of Patchogue, New York, has decided to drop the name “Christmas” from its annual boat parade. You can read the AP story here. Congrats to the nationally-known Fireworks by Grucci for pulling out from the parade in protest.

Alas, it appears that New York’s Rockefeller Center will have The Tree this year, not “The Christmas Tree.” Perhaps our friends would like to call the falling, crystal, lighted device that helps count down the seconds to the new year, “The Ball.” What do you think?

About me

A delightful book…

What Happened to Merry Christmas? is a delightful book and one that should be put in the hands of committed Christian parents.

A gift…

Robert Baker's book is a gift. Each page is a companion for families striving to help children remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Precious……wonderful

This precious, little book helps children to understand the true meaning behind Christmas. It is an apologetics book on a children's level. I commend this wonderful children's book to you.
